Application filed m 20,

This invention relates to a device for waving in a series of substantially parallel waves.

An object of the invention is to provide a. device which fits over-'the head of the wearer and retains the hair in a waved position while drying.

A further object is to provide a means for conducting warm air to the hair to facilitate the drying and hasten the waving proc ess.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device in position upon the head of the wearer.

Figure 2 is a similar view showmg'the device in a different position.

Figure 3'is a. similar view to Figures 1 and 2 showing a modification of the device. I

Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the straps and tubes.

Figure 5 is a longitudinal section on the line 5-5 of Figure 4..

Figure 6 is a side elevation of the pick.

Figure 7 is a side elevation of the presser device.

The hair waving device comprises a head strap 1 which is adapted to be secured about the head to su port the said device. The strap is fastened by a buckle or other fastening means 1 and may be of the form shown in Figure 3 where the head strap includes a neck band 11 secured by a fastener 12. Directly engagingthe strap is a plurality. of clamps 2, each of which has a depression 3 which frictionally engages the said strap. The clamps are slidably mounted on flexible tubular members 4 which extend substantially at right angles to the strap across the head to a second strap hereinafter referred to as the central strap which passes from the forehead to the back of the neck and which is connected, at each end to the head strap. The tubular members 4 are connected to the head strap by the clamps 2 and extend beyond the said head strap where they are all connected to a. common tubular member hereinafter referred to as the main tubular member 5.

The tubular members have small apertures 4, shown in Figure 5, .throughout their length to allow warm air conducted through the main tubular member and the other tubular members to reach the hair. The drawing has shown tubular members used to hold the hair in hair waving position, but elas- 1928. Serial No. 294,164.

'tic' strips attached to a common head strap would answer the same purpose, or the entire cap could be made of elastic strips and merely used as acap where the object of quick drying was not essential.

Used with the device to assist in waving the hair-is an implement, shown in Figure 6, which will be termed a pick 7 and a second implement 8 having a handle 9 which will be termed a presser. The purpose of these tools wilLhereinafter be brought out together with the natureof their use.

To obtain a wave in the hair by using the above described device, the hair is first washed, rinsed or may be only dampened in any usual solution used in' waving the hair. The width of the waves and their position is then determined and the tubular members correctly positioned by sliding the clamps along the head strap and the ends of the said tubular members along the central strap until the said members are properly spaced.

Beginning at the front of the head the hair is raised to the desired wave between the first two tubular members by means of the pick which is inserted under the hair and pulled upwards to raise the hair into the desired wave. The presser is then applied to the second tubular member and the hair between the second and third tubular members is put into the waved position, the presser peventing the hair from being drawn out.

tween the first and second tubular member. The'presser is then moved successively over the tubular members and the hair raised between them by the pick. WVarm air is passed through the main tubular member and thence into the other tubular members in which it is conducted over the head and escaping through the apertures dries the hair quickly. I

Such a device as above described presents a cheap and economical method of waving the hair and could be used in beauty parlors while a cap somewhat similar to the one described, made with elastic strips instead of the tubular members could be used instead of the old fashion curling wires around the home, where quick drying is not essential.

What is claimed is:

. 1. A hair waving device comprising a. head strap, a plurality of tubular members extending substantially at right angles to the strap and spaced from each other, the said tubular members having a plurality of apertures. throughout their length, clamps adjustably fastening the tubular members to the head strap, an adjusting means for the strap and a main tubular member connected to all the tubular members.

2. A hair waving device comprising a head strap, a central strap, a plurality of tubular members extending between the straps and adjustably secured thereto, the said tubular members having a plurality of apertures throughout their length, an adjusting means or the straps and a main tubular member connected to all the other tubular members, whereby warm air conducted through the main tubular member LUCY E.
